How nice would it be to have one of these little beauties tucked away in your home, to find a spot where you could pass it every day and enjoy the beauty of it. I discovered these at Polesden Lacey, a National Trust property in Surrey and have not been able to stop admiring them since. Mrs. Greville was one lucky lady.

Did I mention that it is the largest annual flower show in the world? Should I have thought to note that little fact before I tottered off? Yes! The theme this year was Shakespearean with the addition of Girlguiding UK centenary celebrations. This was a family flower show. It was hands on for the kids..there were many wonderful exhibits all done by local schools and organisations.

The displays were impressive. Everyone shopped here. You had to look up, down and all around to make sure you did not collide with people, plants or gardening trolleys. My hat goes off to the English shoppers...they have the best devices for shopping around London streets and showgrounds! So..how did I view the 2010 RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show? I did my usual, I wondered, I pondered, I took photos of what interested me. They all go into a memory file. It is growing in leaps and bounds.....

Walking thru the grounds of Hampton Court Palace

to get to the Flower Show.

Here is what caught my eye...

By this point, I looked over yonder and thought it was time to call it a day.

After all, there is next year too....

So off I went, with the crowds...

and it wasn't long before I looked at this...

and this..

and happily and tiredly went in search of a quiet moment or two for myself.

Dear Reader...

I created this blog to help me find my way whilst living in England. I have since moved to Vietnam with the hopes that I will return one day. To that end, I will write here..to keep the connection going, until I am once again...Finding My Way in England.

In the meantime, I hope you find something here to inspire you as you find your own way around England...
